Pawan_vajs79, 15 Feb 2011I have three issues with this phone. If someone could help me with i would be really grateful ... moreHello. well first of all, when ur screen goes blank while making a call...it is one of the features of desire z. it automatically locks the screen to prevent u from touching anything else while making a call. as for the non-responsive touch screen...try recalibrating the touch feature of the phone. you can find it in one of the apps. if after recalibrating and the problem still persists, try taking it to a service center to have it checked. hope your phone will work this time.

I have three issues with this phone. If someone could help me with i would be really grateful
1. Some times the touch does not respond at all no matter what you do?
2. when you make a call the screen goes blank and attempts to call the person. At times you accidentally call the wrong person from the call log and you cannot end the call as the screen is blank
3. the phone will shutdown for apparently no reason and you may have to remove the battery and put it back, then power it back on.
are these common issues or should I go to the service center for software reinstallation.

Which one is the best? DHD or Dz? I don't care about the keyboard but the build quality and the performance. And how is the durable??? Any idea?

@ Desire
I highly recommend you to buy the HTC Desire Z, because you can get the maximum from the Z. Take a look at xda-developers.com. You can install custom ROMs that makes your Z very special and you can even overclock your Z to 1.9GHZ. So you can play PSX4Droid really smoothly.

You should ask your uncle why he said that. Let us know what he says and we can tell if you we agree or not.

Desire Z is the best phone i found. Earlier i have used nokia E95 and N97.I have noticed few problems in this phone and till date i couldn't fix them. I dont have any HTC authorised dealer or service center nearby.Phone gets switched off once in 3/4 days with no reason.Then it doesn't start unless u remove battery and refit and then it starts.Over last 2 months use I have replaced battery still it needs charging after 3/4 hours inspite of overnight chargeing.that means in spite of 9 hrs chargeing in the night, still have to charge with in 3/4 hours again. After completeing the call the line doesnot get disconnected, then i have to restart the phone again.
I was irrited with N97, because of frequent hangups.
And now this HTC desire z series is following the same footprints of nokia.
please can anybody help me
Thank u

desire, 14 Feb 2011Hey friends, I really like this mobile and will by a unit soon.
But my uncle said me that t... moreI got this phone and it's gotta be the best phone out there. It must have the smoothest browser for the internet and the build quality is fantastic. The z hinge is great because it's unique and stops your thumbs hitting the screen. The only complaint i have ive had is its a bit heavy. But with the desire range theres 3 to choose from. the HD and the standard desire. These are alot lighter just because the Z has that hardware keyboard.
So buy it, Best android phone with a keyboard out there.
The experia x10 are bringing out the the pro version with the keyboard but dont know when.

Hey friends, I really like this mobile and will by a unit soon.
But my uncle said me that this unit is not good enough as I think. So he told me to buy a SE product.
Actually I've never used a HTC product before. I have used only SE.
But as I think their latest one - XPERIA X10 is not good enough.
So please can somebody tell me why my uncle told me not to buy this and go for a SE. I wanna buy this one. So please can anybody give me a clear explanation?
Thanks in advice.

akuhime, 11 Feb 2011another problem is..I dont know if I'll be able to use htc phones in my country .. I read some... moreDesire Z supports all the major 2G and 3G technologies on GSM networks, no problem.
Wifi has nothing to do with your operator, no problems there also.

azri, 10 Feb 2011which one is better in overall performance; htc desire z or motorola milestone 2?Desire Z has a much faster GPU, seriously much faster, many times more. But Milestone2 has 25% faster CPU. What is more important is up to you. I have no problem with Desire Z's processor performance so im happy having some GPU power reserve for future game titles.

akuhime, 10 Feb 2011What about the battery? cause i've read many reviews that people said that the phone runs out ... moreWhen the phone was brand new, the battery seems to run out faster than now. I've had this phone for 3 months. The instructions with the phone also states that brand new batteries have a shorter life than batteries that have been used for a while. I experienced the same thing with my last phone.
As for how long or short it lasts, I can only compare the Desire Z with the N97 (my last smartphone). I find they last more or less just as long. This is based purely on my observation and gut feeling. I didn't actually timed it and my use of the phone tends to vary from day to day.
From my memory, when I first got the Desire Z, the battery does not last through the day the first two weeks. I use it a lot in the evening, so before the day is done, I need to charge it. From about a month onward, my phone tends to last the entire day. Maybe once every two weeks I may need to charge it up in the evening.
My use has also varied since I first got it. The first two weeks, I was using the phone constantly. I played around with all of the widgets, rearranged my home screens, surf the web and was totally hooked on Angry Birds. From about a month onward, I did less customising of the phone. I probably settled down to a more normal usage pattern. This past month, I decided to use the music player and downloaded all of my songs on it, so I can play it in my car.
My general observation is that the battery lasts longer now even though my usage patter has changed. One thing I noticed is that initially, the GPS tends to drain the battery a lot. I use it occasionally if I drive to some unfamiliar part of the city. I noticed that before, my battery goes down fast if I use GPS that day. Now, I find it doesn't drain my battery as much. When I'm in the car, I pretty much constantly have the music player on. My daily commute is over an hour every day.
Your usage may vary as well. It's hard to say exactly how many minutes I browse the web, play games, check email, access social networking, customising, etc.
